Omega with LPG - equivalent to 35mpg.
Cavalier diesel on veg oil - equivalent to approx. 100mpg,which will lessen in winter when mixed approx. 50/50 with diesel.

its a 2.2 auto petrol, is there any common thing to do servicing wise to improve it?

Good service, plugs, air filter, fuel filter, throttle body & breather clean. Petrol 4 pots love fresh oil too.

There does seem to be a bit of oil around the throttle body where the air filter hose connects, is there a how to on here for the 2.2?

I tend to get around 19mpg from the 3.0 auto, and 17 from the 3.2 auto. On LPG. Both driven the way a car should be driven.

My 2.2 is currently showing 30.4 average, mainly commuting through a combination of stop/start queues and 70mph dual carriageways. On a run, I get about 36mpg.

£55/£1.40 = 39.29 litres
39.29/4.55 = 8.64 gallons
180/8.64 = 20.83 mpg

Maybe you should have driven a bit slower!

I know but it wasn't a average day to day drive as in (a to b journey) more of a day just for driving for the sake of it "Sunday Day Out Drive"
Here's the Video I made from those 180 miles some short clips put together  :)
